install...all plug n play...even the seller include an additional adaptor to convert 2 pin plug into 3pin plug...
rear port consist:
hdmi
lan
power plug
av out (3.5mm)
side port (on the left hand side when looking from front of the device)
2 usb port
1 microsd slot
front: power status LED and power button...
the size is quite minimal and clean... no external antenna....
powering on...quite fast....
tested media:
-4k (uhd mp4 video clip from my 4k drone recording) works great no stutter or lag...it just play immediately
-mp3 with 320kbps also works good
-kodi came preinstalled but all of the installed link not working...
so i've uninstall the kodi...and reinstall latest version from playstore....all working great...
-game not yet tested...(not really interested on gaming purpose)
-air mouse/keyboard not yet bought... so kiv on that....
-on audio is quite decent...i didnt expect high end sound...since i hook my logitech 5.1 pc speaker to the tv and live with that....so sound transferred thru hdmi...so it should be fine....
while watching from kodi and/or playing mp3 all speakers sending appropriate sound true to 5.1 speaker output...
-only complain is i felt the device was a bit warm...
(solved by using laptop cooler fan at the bottom of the device for cooling....also sit besides it sharing the cooler fan is the unifi modem)-and remote receiving angle wasnt that great on the device...had to point a bit more towards the device...
(apparently the device is designed to sit on higher level like top rack above your tv for optimum remote control receiving angle)-i found another issue with KODI specifically on sound production....
*everytime i play audio/video/streaming, the when i select upmix option and left it there (i set volume gain 60db), the first time, audio will be loud and crystal clear, but when i play other media next time around, the sound level will be back to normal (not the loud 60db gain as set before)....while checking again in the stereo upmix, it was remain unchanged.... BUT then when i cycle it off...then turn on back again the stereo UPMIX, then it will be loud again like the way it should after setting it the first time....
*THIS might be issue on KODI and nothing wrong on the box itself i guess....
because it doesn happen if i play any media directly from other apps (not using kodi)
thats all....
